緑島 - 台灣

As i write this post, i'm trying my utmost to comprehend the webpage commands which are all in traditional chinese. Take a look here . Grr. I never thought my command of the chinese language would be so poor until the little boy below showed me his little picture book and there i found out wat a stapler was in chinese. heh. For the benefit of those like me who din noe, the anwer is 訂書機.

Below are the pics from our weekend getaway to Green Island, Taiwan.

1st day morning. Preparing to set off.

Greeted by thunderclouds on the 1st day. Btw, "the day after tomorrow" is called "明天過後", n not "後天"!

still groggy

AB in my bimbo sunglasses

driving by the sea n stopping to take in the view

having a heineken in the outdoor sea water hot spring - as informed by Zhicheng, there are only 3 places in the world with sea water hot springs, green island being one of them! Read more here.

the lighthouse

still trying to look cool, though thorougly ass-kicked from carrying our bikes through a 1+ km 古道

look carefully n u see Confucius taking a leak at the wall. the locals say it is 孔子在面壁思過. but i prefer the former. hehe

海草檸檬冰
imagine having this after a ride in the sweltering heat... yummilicious!!
fyi, the green stuff is seaweed! it's so aesthetically pleasing i was telling AB they could make an alcoholic drink out of it.. like a pseudo mojito, replacing the mint leaves with seaweed!

it's milky counterpart - 海草牛奶冰

A cuttlefish. The locals just hooked one off the sea every few minutes, like they were swimming in abundance below.

BBQ on the last nite. this was taken b4 the electricity got cut off n the fans din work n we weren't allowed to take ice from the fridge. t'was maddenningly hott... luckily the food was scrumptious.
